: If he's on call, he's not waiting for specific passengers; he would be waiting for a call, to be sent somewhere. In his case, he's already received the call and is at the place he needs to pick them up.

Thanks Rachel, my idea was that he's on call this day - as his mode of operation. And, being on call, he is servicing the order. In the same time he is still on-call, as he's an on-line driver, planning his next trips. Does it make sense?

I don't want to plagiarise Rachel, but I would keep it short and to the point.
